(Not of course that it's a bad thing if word of UBPorts is spread. But I did get a lot of vibe of "hey, free phones," from some - not all - of the new members posting to that thread.)

In community sale apps I never give anything away for free. It has nothing to do with needing/wanting the money but rather when you give something for free you attract people who aren't interested in the actual item but the fact that it's free and maybe they could resell it.

I built my own halium image for my oneplus3 but couldn't get it to install correctly. I then noticed that the installer now supports the oneplus3 per Marius' tweet.

When I try to install I am initially presented with a message:

"
Device not supported
The device OnePlus3T is not supported
"

I tried selecting "Oneplus 3(T)" manually from the list but the install gets stuck with a message along the lines of "Sending image to phone"

Meanwhile, the phone is at what looks like a recovery menu with 3 options that were something like:

1. Reboot
2. Ubuntu Options
3. Andoid Options

I reimaged back to TWRP and android, tried again but had the same results.

@Aury88 Thanks! That looks like it's just for the openstore app though. Will developers have to make modifications as well or will the openstore do that for any app that can build?

I am excited to see arm64 devices being ported. I have a Oneplus One and a Oneplus 3 running up and running right now. Is there going to be a focus on moving toward newer hardware and what is the status of OpenStore for arm64?

For those getting

"fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'."

I fixed this by dropping into TWRP recovery and fixing /data. I had messed up /system as well and needed to fix that too

From TWRP I set /data to ext4 and then ran the installer. The files were able to send successfully and the installation completed.

The other nice thing about using TWRP was that it has a terminal built in so I was able use df to confirm that the partition was correct.
